305-034-555-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-555-204 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-side contact applications. It features 34 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder lug termination type for secure panel mounting. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, ensuring reliable performance in vertical installation configurations.
